LimitState RING 4.2

LimitState RING is the popular software product for the analysis of masonry arch bridges – designed from the ground up with the needs of professional engineers in mind:

• Modern, intuitive user interface.
• Multi-ring, multi-span analysis (no need to balance thrusts)
• Use a wide range of built-in and user-defined arch profiles.
• Include local defects such as mortar loss and weak masonry.
• Undertake support settlement analyses.
• View moment, shear and normal force diagrams.
• Allocate separate properties to nearsurface and deep fill.
• Model reinforcement.

LimitState RING uses rigorous mathematical optimization to directly identify a wide range of potential modes of response, including those involving:

• Hinging and/or masonry failure.
• Radial sliding.
• Ring separation.
• Single or multi-spans.
• Support movement.
